A Pair of Brown Eyes.

What is the hope with which you are shining,
Glad brown eyes in love with the light
SHINING as stars shine out of the night,
Kindled with glory for our divining?
What of worship are you enshrining-
Visions of what unknown delight?
What is the hope with which you are shining
Glad brown eyes in love with the ligtt2
Youth and hope in your look combiningI
All! be glad of them, Eyes, tonight
Glad, in youth-time, of youths delight!
Let us wonder, weary with pining,
What is the hope with which you are shining?

Marvellous as are the oil fields of
the United States, they are small af-
fairs compared with those of the
Caspian Sea region of Asia. One
we'll alone. near Baku, has produced
more oil than all the wells of Ameri-
ca. An orifiee, ten inches wide,
spouted daily more oil than was be-
ing produced throughout the whole
world, including therein the $4,000
wells in America, the thousands of
wells in Gslicia, Roumania, Burmah,
and the shale-oil distilleries Of Scot
land and Wales. In one day, the
outflow reached 100 tons, or $780,
900 gallons. Another well has yielded
altogether nearly 100000 gallons.
Notwithstanding this astonishing
product, the American oil still keeps
the European market: seventy per
cent. of it is an illuminant. which is
true of only thirty per cent. of the
Russian oil. The latter is, however,
better for lubricating purposes. But
Baku, where all this Russian oil is
found, is nearly 600 miles from the
Black Sea. A pipe line is spoken of,
but that would be much longer than
the American pipe lines, and then
less than a third of the oil couidAbe
used for lighting purposes. Hence
the necessity for refineries and for
other ways of disposlng of the non
Illuminating oil of the Ballakhanni
Plateau. What a singular circum.
stance it is, that these vast quantities
of oil were hidden under the surface
of the earth, in portions Of the globe
that have been longest inhabited
without its existence being even sus.
pected by people living OIL the surface

witnessed one bit of quite fine acting
The character was evidently crossing a
mountain range, going from one prov
ince to another Such realism never
witnessed on any stage! 1t was quite
equal to the celebrated pump and wash
tub scene of Mr.. Vincent Crummles. The
mountains, with their dangerous canons
were represented by plank stretching
between two tables, and two chair:
wherewith to ascend and descend. The
individual, it was a woman, climbed tt
the table with much effort and te-he-ing
advanced to the plank, placed one foot on
it, the orchestra gave an extra shrek, like
the band in circus when the man in the
trapeze gives jump; and she quickly
withdrew it, apparently. overcome witt
terror at the danger to be encountered
1t took fully fifteen minutes to get ovel
during which time the actor admirably
portrayed trepridation, anxiety, indec1s
ion, cautiousness and resolution.
One word about the costumes: The!
were elegant. Heavy satin in all colors
plain and embroidered, with many col
ored silks, together with gold and silver
threads in the most gorgeous barbaric de
signsl Huge dragons, nameless mon
sters, and impossible forms were repre-
sented in every variety of color, as we'll a
gorgeous flower and arabesque designs
Of course the earnings of a company mus
be considerable to enable the manager
to supply such rich costumes for hi!
players, and they are. Not only can h
furnish such elaborate dresses, but fire
quently pays his "stars" as high as $500
month. And they earn it, for they no
only have to play from six to nine hours
every night in the week, but much of thu
dialogue is extemporaneous, and then tn
wear and tear on their lung attachment
must be something awful, as they have t.
intone their lines with such power as t
be heard loud and strong above the orches

The difference between the Republican
and the FREE TRADER after all, Is this
The Republican wants the abuses of the
tariff removed by those who are known to
be Its friends, while the FREE TRADER
would commit the job to Its avowed
enemies.-Republican.
As Hon. w. d. Kelley is the most con.
spicuous friend of the tariff In the republi.
can party, and as that party, as a rule fol.
lows his leadership In tariff matters, 1t is
not difficult to anticipate the reforms" ats
friends" would make In the tariff If the
work be turned over to them. Cutting of
internal revenue taxes, giving US free
whisky and tobacco is not reforming the
tariff by any means, and that is the repub-
lican programme as prorounded by Mr..
Kelley-only that and nothing more. The
enemies of the tariff on the other hand
propose to take off the tariff on the neces-
saries of life and leave the tax on whisky
and tobacco. Now which IL the better?

The Marseilles Neps records the death,
on Sunday night, of Thomas Loring OF that
village, at the age of SO years, at the resi-.
dence Of his niece, Mrs. Adeline Parr; and
adds: "Mr. Loring was born In Bloom
field, Ontario county, N; Y, was married
at Rochester, N. Y, to Miss Caroline Hall,
of Providence, r. l., after which he for
time resided and kept hotel In the city
of st. Louis. He came to La Sale county
about forty years ago, since which time he
has resided in this Immediate vicinity. He
was keeper of the jail in Ottawa at the
time of the execution of Gates, and has
twice held the position of coroner for this
county. During his long residence among
us, Mr.. Loring made many friends who
will miss from the daily walks Of life his
kindly face and familiar form. His advanc-
ed age, and rapidly failing strength have
recently evinced to those NEST intimately
associated with him at the time of his de-
parture, was very near, and last evening he
calmly and peacefully entered into the
Promised Rest which Is the last and

On the question of tariff reduction the
republican party directly after the war
adopted the policy of gradually diminish
Ing tariff duties as fast as the state of the
treasury would permit, and In earnest of
this policy did reduce duties at different
times, and the state of the treasury at this
time warrants further reductions. On this
question the Free Press Is In accord with

On Monday morning the lifeless body Of
Andrew Osborne was found under the

fallen distance of eighteen feet, alighting
on his face, evidently breaking his neck.
His body was cold and stiff, and death had
undoubtedly taken place several hours at
least before his discovery. Upon his person
was found letter, by which he was first
identified, few dollars in change, and an
empty bottle, which conveyed the impress
Ion at least that he was under the influence
of liquor when he met his fate. He was a
single man, and miner.
